Happy Monday everyone! Today is December 7th, which means yesterday was December 6th - a very important day for me. Yesterday was my third-year anniversary of eating disorder recovery! I have previously written about my 7-year struggle with anorexia, though I didn't reflect much on the journey itself - mostly just present-day challenges. For the … Continue reading Week 20: 3 Years

Week 19: Sacrifice
Happy Monday everyone! Last week I had a lot of fun learning about the rear axles of 40-ton battery electric haul trucks, and I was mildly helpful in troubleshooting a phase alignment/polarity issue in a three-phase motor. Turns out wheel-hub motors are very expensive! Nevertheless, I'm going to keep this one short and sweet - … Continue reading Week 19: Sacrifice
Week 18: Work Family
Hi everyone! I'm sorry that I haven't posted in a while - it's been a pretty busy month and I wanted to make sure this entry was as high-quality as can be rather than rushing it. There's truly no need to put pressure on myself for something as tiny as this blog! Nevertheless, I once … Continue reading Week 18: Work Family
Week 17: Stress, Anxiety, and Turning 23
Happy Monday! I don't know about you, but I'm no longer 22! Sunday marked my 23rd birthday, and likely my last 25-hour-long birthday due to the end of daylight saving time. Every year, I take a few minutes to think about my new age and what cool properties it has. So let's take a minute … Continue reading Week 17: Stress, Anxiety, and Turning 23
Week 16: Fractals & Mine Organization
Happy Tuesday, everyone! Last week was kinda bananalands in Northern Ontario - we received a healthy dose of snow. It was a rude awakening and an unfortunate sneak-peak at what's to come in the next few months. I actually love winter, but mid-October is a little earlier than I think I'm ready for. Anyway, a … Continue reading Week 16: Fractals & Mine Organization
Week 15: Li-Ion Batteries 101
Happy Monday, everyone! Don't be fooled - I myself am not overly enthused about it being Monday. But we can pretend we are nonetheless! Of course, since it is Monday, I have come bearing a new blog for you. This one is about batteries - and it is somewhat technical and long, though my goal … Continue reading Week 15: Li-Ion Batteries 101
Week 14: A Taste of Energy Management
Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving, and I also hope that it felt as normal & safe as possible given global circumstances. I got to spend mine at home in Sudbury, so it was pretty great. A small update: last week, I had the pleasure of attending a virtual conference that … Continue reading Week 14: A Taste of Energy Management
Week 13: Underground Inquiry
Hi everyone! It is finally October (my favourite month of the year) which means cooler weather, fall leaves, and peak Starbucks season! Unfortunately, there isn't a Starbucks anywhere within 100km of me, but still exciting nonetheless. Last week, I had a pretty fun experience - I went underground for the first time as an EIT. … Continue reading Week 13: Underground Inquiry
Week 12: Perception Matters
This week I discuss the degree of which the perceptions of others matter to me in the workplace.
Week 11: An Ode to Dad
Happy Tuesday! I hope this email blog post finds you well. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't over-the-moon excited to write this one because I think it's pretty special, and different - this week I'd like to write to you about my Dad. It's his birthday on Wednesday, so I figured now would … Continue reading Week 11: An Ode to Dad
